The leader of a Girls Scout troop in New Jersey says she was removed from her position due to her social media posts that questioned the organization’s perceived shift towards LGBTQIA+ activism and its introduction of gender sexuality alliance clubs to scouts.
Alexandra Bougher, who is also the Bergen County chapter chair of Moms for Liberty, said she was fired in a phone call Wednesday with two members of the council of the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey. Moms for Liberty is a right-wing parents rights group that advocates against school curricula mentioning LGBTQ rights, race, and ethnicity.
Bougher said Girls Scout officials declined to tell her which of her posts violated their code of conduct but theorized it may have been about her comments taking a stance against a post the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey shared in June promoting Pride Month.
“I reposted it and I said, ‘just to be clear, my troop will not be doing this” Bougher said Thursday in a phone interview with NJ Advance Media.
“I guess that’s the one,” she said. “They actually refused to tell me which one it was, but I’m assuming it was that one since it was pulled off their site.”
She said she’s also been outspoken about other incidents involving a church that hosted a scouts event with an LGBTQ flag out front and an event in which a transgender teen spoke to the scouts about gender identity.
“This is not what Girl Scouts is about. It is highly inappropriate to talk about anything sexual in nature with small children. That’s not the role of a leader of a Girl Scout leader, and that’s not happening during our meetings.”
